I am a quilter who uses a computer program to design way more quilts than I could ever make in several lifetimes.
The quilts featured on this site have never been made. No stash has been harmed in the process.
This site is a chance to show the un-used and unseen designs to others, and occasionally share designs by making some EQ8 project files available by email on request.

I love when you post “beaded” quilts! Very pretty!

Peggy,
Thank you.
I have loved Strings of Beads since I first saw a black and white picture of a block many years ago. Drew lots of them on scraps of paper before I made one, then started playing with the designs in EQ.

I agree, very pretty. And a good scrappy quilt, and you could coordinate the colours if you so desired.

Marie,
Yes! I think most of these designs would work as both random and coordinated scrappies. In this series I have used one batik fabric, and being a collection of colours it looks a bit scrappy, and a bit random scrappy. In real quilts I have used just scraps!

I also love the beaded quilts. I have started collecting scraps for the beads but still have to decide on the definite pattern and you have so many choices! Love them all so it makes it hard to decide.

Cindy,
It is very hard to decide … I did a couple of very basic designs, including the design from the thirties which started all this, to work out how to do them with fusibles, but cannot make up my mind which design to use to show off what else can be done with those little beads!
